Almost 200 seniors, graduate students and alumni registered for the event which featured a full day of presentations, workshops, training and networking focused on achieving career success after graduation.
The day began with a welcome from University Career Center Director Audrey Magnuson, followed by a keynote address on achieving success from UTSA alumnus, entrepreneur and founder of LION Mobile Devon Ryan.
Following the morning general session, attendees participated in their choice of 16 individual career workshops as well as an Etiquette lunch and networking training.
